History has highlighted that even the most seasoned of talents have “bad days”. This evening presented such a case for R&B star and actor Tyrese, who performed the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana boxing match.
The crooner, whose hits include ‘Sweet Lady’ and ‘How You Gonna Act Like That’, suffered quite the hit when trying to perform the US National Anthem.
Watch his rendition below, where his candid reaction also awaits…
Taking to Twitter shortly after, the 35-year-old his 3 million followers:
I just watched it….. I sounded horrible tonight on the anthem……. I will say it myself….. Good #American moment but not my best! — Vision Implementer (@Tyrese) May 4, 2014
We all have one of those night…… My #RnBPedigree is extensive…. Let’s leave it there…… — Vision Implementer (@Tyrese) May 4, 2014
To be fair, it wasn’t that bad — or bad at all, for that matter. A bit throaty, a bit gravelly if anything.
That said, we’re more offended by the tacky Facebook plug at the end. Like, really?!
WHO?
A singer capable of the national anthem. You know, that song Ciara couldn’t even imagine performing herself even if she were hallucinating off mushrooms.!sot down bish BUHBYE

WHO? WHAT? HUH? HOW? BYE!!!
Meh. It wasn’t bad, I’ve certainly seen worst! He won’t be penalized, people are much harsher on the women!
He still songs better than ANY male artists who’s come out in the past decade. Of w**** saying “who” it shows JUST EXACTLY how much you DONT know about music and shouldn’t be commenting like you do know… Idiots… Smh
What’s he talking about. Kept more simplistic and bit fast in places but wasn’t that bad.
Agreed. Like I was expecting strain and off key. Not an ounce of that.
At least he did it live and not lip synced it like that w**** slutyonce.
Rihanna would never do that. Her performance would be iconic
Yeah because This mess was soo iconic you
remembered it right?

Bish u TRYNA get dragd with that Rhislut comment. U kno that bish caint sing…u h**
Rihanna is VOCALLY INCAPABLE of singing the national anthem which is why almost a decade into her career she hasn’t tried. There is a reason she only makes workout music, the last vocally challenging song she ever sang was mariah Carey’s “hero” and we all saw how bad that was… She sucks- especially in comparison to a SINGER (and her biggest influence) beyonce !!!
Rihanna actually has a national anthem on youtube and it sounds cute…. Try again…..
That s*** was a hot mess! Nothing cute about her goat vocals.
Huh….Samantha, fix the Christina post…I swear this site forever has issues…
Well at least he admitted it. He still looks amazing after all of these years. I remember being a little girl and wondering why he made me tingle. Now I know lol.
It wasn’t bad and no one cares for it being sung at a boxing match. Chris Brown was horrible tho.
Not bad at all. He only messed up on his last run and the very end, but the average listener wouldn’t have caught that. Good Job Tyrese!!
OMG! I always love this man, what a real man, R&B rules. I admit that performance was not his best
I liked it I was expecting so much worse. He act like we were expecting boyz to men vocals or sum s*** :/
As was written above, he should be more embarrassed about using the moment to gain Facebook followers. All he wanted was to be seen. His behavior was selfish and egotistical.
It wasn’t that bad.
It wasn’t that bad.*
It wasn’t that bad.:
It was good
